I just wondered if anybody had seen any good deals on dive cylinders lately?

I had a hw100 s given to me as a christmas present and i'm well pleased with it.

Cheers

mate when buying a dive bottle, go for one of the smaller bottles, not the 12 litre 232 bars as once they get half emty the will still be plenty of air in them but you wont be able to fill your gun as there is not enough pressure, whereas with a 7ltr 300bar bottle like i have i can fill my gun till its litererally emty and it will still fill it.

alot of people think by buying such a big bottle you can get more fills but its not the case go for a 7 or 5 or maybe even 3 litre 300 bar mate

all the best

Or just get a 12-15 ltr 300 bar bottle.. Or for unlimited free air get a pump

I have looked locally for places to charge it and one place is able to charge a 12l bottle to 300 bar for 3 pounds, it's a big old lump though so maybe inclined to go for a 7l bottle like you jazz.

you will be able to fill the rifle you just wont get the full amount. the idea of a bigger bottle is you will get more fills at the maxium pressure. so you get a 12ltr 300 bar and you fill a air arms to 190 bar you will get lots of fills out of it before that bottle will go down below 190 bar ?

 

a 3ltr 300 bar is nice and compact but you will get a lot less full fill then a 12 ltr bottle for instant if you have a fac riply that you fill to 300 bar to get the full amount of shots at 50ftlb a 12 ltr bottle would be the best suited because you get more fills at 300 bar then you would with the 3ltr.

I have to say I couldn't agree more, by the way Jamie, the 12 ltr bottle is brill

Would not expect them to be that Discounted as there has been shortages for years

As Main Manufacturers - Faber has not been able to keep up with Demand of

the worlds Air Gunners requiring 300 BAR Bottles

 

Check out Local Filling Stations , might be able to do you a Far Price

 

Looking around £200.00 Plus - for a 12 Litre 300 Bar Bottle & Guage

Better Deal to go with MDE Air Gun Head

Only needs testing Every Five Years

 

Against Every 2 Years with a Din Gauge - and about £30-40 Test Fees.
